The 718 invites comparison to a variety of front-, mid-, and rear-engine competitors.
Porsche’s own 911 costs more and has more power coming from its rear engine.
The mid-engine Corvette has similar pricing with more power, but it doesn’t offer a manual transmission.
The Toyota Supra/BMW Z4 duo fulfill the same missions as the 718 Cayman/Boxster pair as a coupe and a roadster with the engine up front and similarly sharp moves.
The Audi TT has a transverse front-mounted engine that isn’t best for balance, but it’s still fun.
The 2021 model year is also likely its last.
